Testimonials
I'm very impressed by the conference. Having been engaged in industrial research and development for a considerable time, I can attest that gathering such a diverse range of international stakeholders – from companies and research arenas across Europe – is no small feat. I must tip my hat; I was genuinely impressed.
These forums, bringing together diverse stakeholders across the entire value chain, and shedding light on both the potential and challenges of the technology, are invaluable for fostering collaboration, both domestically and globally.
I think it's advantageous to combine academia and industry in this manner. It offers a comprehensive view of the developments in additive manufacturing and serves as gateway to new collaborations.
